About this cabin rental

Modern Zen is a sophisticated and tasteful blend of modern and serene. Set in the redwoods of Cazadero near Austin Creek, this mid-century modern compound embraces stylish amenities like a hot tub, remodeled kitchen, outdoor shower, firepit and entertainment technology. Get away from it all in a two bedroom main house and separate private suite.

Outside is divine! The main deck sports a dining table for morning mimosas and alfresco meals, propane BBQ, large hammock (that gets a perfect amount of sunshine in the afternoon), plenty of welcoming seating and views up the hillside and into the redwood trees. It's the perfect gathering place between the main house and the private suite. Around the corner and completely private, a 6 person hot tub awaits. Just steps away is a private outdoor shower, hooks for towels and gate to the lower yard and fully fenced dog run.

In the main house the freshly remodeled kitchen has all new stainless steel appliances including dishwasher, a multi-tiered island and is open to the dining area and comfortable living room. The kitchen is well-appointed with quality cookware and colorful Fiestaware. This open floorplan is ideal for group cooking and congregating. No one is left out of the fun! Spread out in the living room to watch TV or stream music through the new flat screen Roku TV. Retreat to your cozy bedroom with a memory foam king bed and one with a queen bed. Each bedroom has a TV and sliding glass doors to the deck and hot tub. Get ready in the stylish main bathroom with heated floors, tiled shower/tub combo and marble counter top.

Cross the multi-level deck to the charming private suite with queen bed, separate comfortable seating area with TV and DVD player, full bathroom with heated floors and kitchenette with washer and dryer. This space is equally inviting when sun streams through the windows or rain patters on the roof. Make coffee in the kitchenette or grab a snack from the mini fridge before joining everyone in the main house for breakfast.

Native ferns, rhododendrons and thimbleberries thrive under the redwood trees with Japanese maples, climbing roses and camellias. Families, friends, dog owners and everyone else will love staying at this peaceful retreat in the woods - that's just a short drive to world class restaurants and wineries. Hiking in Armstrong Redwoods State Park or along the Sonoma Coast is minutes away.

A/C: The house does not have air conditioning. Being near the coast, the night time temps drop and just opening some windows is usually enough to cool the house.

    This was the perfect set up for a trip with two small families. Temps were nice and cool in the June heat with the shade. Location is tucked Seat in nature with just 15 min drive east/west to get to Guernville/Jenner. Perfect family vacation.

    The property was clean and nicely updated. The kitchen and bath were both well appointed. The property situated in a forest with lovely trees and plants surrounding the outdoor space. We were very comfortable and felt quite at home. The area itself was a bit of a disappointment because we had small children with us. The river beaches were rocky and the town of Guernville was pretty torn up with road work which made if difficult with children.

    We really enjoyed our weekend away, two small families, sharing the house and studio across the deck. Modern Zen is set back from the road and consequently really quiet and feels super secluded. The kitchen was well set up with everything we needed for a family meal. Some really thoughtful touches and little luxuries like a heated bathroom floor! For dog owners, the dog run is secure and a real boon — but be aware that it is on fairly steep, uneven ground at the back of the property, and be alert for ticks (it’s the woods, you know!)

    Family of 4 visiting with another couple - perfect setup with the ADU. Beautiful location where we felt secluded in the redwoods but not isolated. Quiet. Both houses were clean. Great suggestion to save directions because our GPS sent us to the wrong place!

    This was a lovely home with everything needed to relax and enjoy the beautiful countryside. Hot tub and deck were especially nice and the kitchen was well appointed. The beds were super comfy! Could not have had a better experience.

    This property was perfect for celebrating my Wife's birthday with our adult children and grandchild. Everything is as advertised with no negative surprises. The property is well situated and private among beautiful redwoods in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to all that the Russian River area has to offer. The house and suite are thoughtfully and artfully decorated. The kitchen is well appointed. I cooked several process laden meals for my family without much frustration of not being in my own kitchen. There are a few thoughtful touches, like toys and dishes for your dog that make a difference. The seperate Suite added a perfect level of extra privacy for our oldest daughter, husband and one year old daughter. My wife and I did not feel like we sacrificed anything by giving them the suite and taking the king size bed in the main house with a slider door facing the hot tub. We would stay here again.

    We had a great time at this house, the suite worked great for my parents, and we loved the deck. great walks just from the house, and convenient location to the ocean and shops in guerneville.
